Description
Every generation creates its own forms of expression. Often, this happens in abrupt rejection of what has gone before. And not infrequently, the provocative gestures in which a new attitude to life is articulated disappear again just as quickly as they appeared. Such thoughts may also have moved Johann Sebastian Bach when, in the early 1 740s, his two eldest sons took up the genre of the symphony, which had come from Italy and was accompanied by a novel treatment of the orchestra and com positionaI technique. Together with their generationaI peers, they created an independent Iine of tradition that was Iater referred to by music historians as the 'symphony of the North German school.' The fact that the symphony did not remain a short-lived fashion, favoured by a handful of young savages, but advanced to become a genre that was soon considered the 'acknowledged paramount form of instrumental music', was one of the most significant and momentous musicaI achievements of the 18th century.
